Forgotten Realms adventure timeline?

[Lwaxy]

All the timelines I found are useless in that regard, as they may reference novels but not adventures. Would anyone know an adventure timeline?

 

[DnD_Dad]

Which adventure are you looking for?

 

[Lwaxy]

I'd like to know the adventures in timeline order. I'm going through campaign notes from way back for a Story Hour start, and noticed that we've paid little to no attention to timeline for most things. I'd love to compare to the real thing and probably rearrange some orders of appearance a bit to make it fit better.

I'm not sure if one is out there, but if so it's likely to be incomplete - while there are adventures that carefully document when they occur (e.g. For Duty and Deity) others pay very little attention to the timeline.

 

[Lwaxy]

Yeah, for those that don't care it wouldn't matter.

I think I'll just have to go with the order it played in then.

 

[Voadam]

Ones with specific timing that I can think of.

1e AD&D ones would go from the campaign setting timeline.

Time of Troubles Trilogy would take it to 2e.

2e modules would go from there.

The Horde trilogy would tie into the Horde invasion time period.

I'm not sure if the Maztica modules deal with mainland explorers coming in, if so that ties into the timeline.

I'm not sure if Four from Cormyr ties into the death of the King of Cormyr and could be pinned to the timeline.

The arcana series modules deal with old stuff like the fall of Myth Drannor with the ancient timelines.

For Duty and Deity deals with the timeline of the wealth goddess escaping the abyss some fixed time after the Time of Troubles.

3e advanced the timeline again (five years or so?) so the 3e modules generally came later (Anaurach, Sons of Gruumsh, etc.) and then 4e advanced it 100 years more for if you do that Spellguard Tower one.

 

[Lwaxy]

Thanks, that helps. Yeah, it seems we are not that far off with the order we played in.

Considering the PCs are all long living races, we do consider using 4e adventures

Yeah I checked there, unfortunately there are several file not founds where it gets interesting

I would jump on the forum. Also, my brother wrote the Grand History of the Realms. There's a web version floating around somewhere that has annotations on which adventures (or sources, period) it came from.
